Jumbo ric rac on a birthday cake quilt

The pattern works great for scraps, and a fat quarter is the perfect size for the back!

Applique ric rac for a birthday cake mini quilt

Of course I made mine with turquoise and red fabric! They're my favorites! 

Raw edge applique for candle flames

I used jumbo ric rac as an accent on the cake layers, but lace or pom poms would be equally fun! (You can get the jumbo ric rac other other supplies for this mini quilt at Missouri Star!)

Walking foot quilting on birthday cake mini quilt

I used 50wt Aurifil thread for all the piecing, the applique of the flames, and the walking foot quilting. 

Satin quilt label

There's a scrap piece of 80/20 batting inside the quilt, and I remembered to add one of my     quilt labels when I sewed on the binding. (Binding tutorial here.)

The texture that the walking foot quilting added to this quilt is so good!

I used a light gray thread, so it really shows up on the darker fabrics, but it doesn't bother me. I love the texture!

And that jumbo ric rac was perfect! I can see more embellishments like this in my future!

  7. Happy Birthday. Love the quilt. Is it possible to scale down the pattern? I. Would like to start making small card sized quilts for birthdays and other celebrations.
    Thank you for sharing its brilliant.
    As an addition you could have Velcro dots on the quilt and on back of number of quilts and adapt for use in the family to hang on a door or a wall. Far better than a disposable plastic birthday. Banner
